HTC One M8 Beats Apple iPhone 5S In Touch Response Time. Smartphone makers and fans have always declared that better specifications are what makes their devices stand out from others. Many smartphones claim they are the best simply because they have better camera, processor or longest battery life. While all these factors play a key role, there are a few that truly affect the device experience, and display latency is one such overlooked factor. Older devices have latency between 80ms-250ms, meaning it takes almost a quarter of a second to respond to every touch. This is most common on apps which require dragging fingers across the screen. Delayed touch response time increases the possibility of inaccurate touches and the device will feel less responsive. http://www.dazeinfo.com/2014/04/14/htc-one-m8-apple-iphone5s...
